<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**1.** Provide one on one support for teachers. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. Focus on 21st Century Skills, not just technology. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. Provide a safe, judgement free environment for teachers to ask questions and collaborate with each other. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4. Students are trained in a 9th grade class on 21st century Skills. In addittion, a student cohort exits. This cohort learns various web 2.0 tools and 21st Century Skills.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Teacher time contrstaints-- work with Principal/distric to embed time into the day (late start Mondays, online collaborative PD site (Ning, Facebook, wiki, etc.) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. A lot of teachers are fearful of technology and I think it is important to ironically take the focus away from the technology. The focus should be on creating innovative, collaborative, project based lessons. I want to teachers to start with that end in mind. After they have the basis of their lesson in mind, they can think about how the technology can support the lesson. The Lesson shouldn't revolve around the technology.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Students and teachers know how to retrieve and manage information. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. Teachers are not fearful of technology and are willing to take risks. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. Teachers are comfortable and willing to to ask Students (from cohort) for assistance. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4. Technology equipment, maintenance, and instruction is funded!
